It all depends.. occasionally I'll lose some of the detail if I don't wake up immediately following the end of a lucid dream and write it down.

Of course, if I have a lucid dream, immediately fall back asleep and am then "jarred" awake by an alarm or a barking dog.. even more detail is lost.

I've learned that for me to get the most bang out of my "recall" buck.. I need to write about my lucid dream as soon as it ends.
